This is a truly classic and delicious chocolate chip cookie. The recipe is from the back of a popular company’s chocolate chip bag and definitely not from anyone’s “French” aunt. You no longer need to experiment with tons of different recipes to find the perfect one!
Ingredients
- 2¼ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- ¾ cup light brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups Nestle Toll House Semi-Sweet Chocolate Morsels
- 1 cup nuts (your preference), chopped (optional)
How to Make It
- Preheat the oven to 375°F.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, gently whisk the flour, baking soda, and salt just to combine. Set aside.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer set to medium speed, or using a hand mixer, cream the butter for 1 minute. Add both sugars and continue to cream until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Crack in the eggs, add the vanilla, and mix to combine.
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix on low.
- Fold in the chocolate chips and nuts, if using, by hand using a rubber spatula.
- Drop by rounded tablespoon onto the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 9 to 11 minutes, or until the edges have begun to crisp and the cookies are golden brown.
- Let cool on the baking sheet for 1 minute, then transfer to a cooling rack.
